Allergies and Gluten Sensitivities
Campus Dining Services is committed to providing a safe environment for those with allergies and celiac disease. Our registered dietitian works very closely with the chefs to ensure policies are in place and staff is trained to minimize cross contact with common allergens. Please contact our registered dietitian for assistance in navigating our dining centers.
Our weekly menu on NetNutrition provides detailed information on gluten and the eight most common food allergens. This tool allows you to filter specific food allergens from the menu. If a specific allergen is not listed in the filter options you may scroll over each menu item and review the ingredients
This information is available from the Campus Dining web site or the Campus Dining app.
While eating in the dining centers
Campus Dining staff is trained on food handling and allergies. For added safety you may to request that staff use a new utensil when serving your portion or ask to be served from a fresh pan of that menu item. We do recommend avoiding areas at high risk for cross contact such as fried foods. Other tips while dining in our dining centers:
- Avoid fried foods as they are a prime source of cross contact.
- If you have a peanut or tree nut allergy we recommend that you avoid all baked goods and desserts as they are produced in an environment where nuts and peanuts are present. (Sliced breads are baked in a facility where there are no peanuts or tree nuts present.)
- Toaster sleeves are available for toasting bagels, bread, and waffles without cross contact.
- Almond milk, lactose free milk, vegan cheese, dairy free yogurt, dairy free margarine, and gluten free bread products are all available in self-serve coolers.
- Gluten Friendly Flavors is free of fish, shellfish, tree nuts and peanuts, and wheat.
If you have been prescribed an Epi-pen keep it with you at all times. While you are at the dining centers please ask contact a staff membeber if you have any questions and they will find someone to assist you.
